Pc Last Shot Analysis
In the end, the last shot of a commercial is the lasting image in the viewer's head. Every Mac commercial in general always ends the same. The last shot is a picture of the Mac computer whether it’s the desktop or laptop. The background of the computer is the basic blue screen saver with the Apple sign and the letters M-A-C in bold white. The computer is shown on a bright white background even though the computer is white. The computer doesn’t stand out tremendously on the white background. Nor does it present a great picture to be remembered well.
In comparison to the Mac commercial, the PC uses different techniques. Although throughout their commercial they also have a white background, they change it at the end. The last shot is always a bright blue background with the product shown. Right before that, the commercial shows the blue background and a phrase that says, “The tablet that can replace your laptop” in a swoosh. Immediately following is the tablet. It stands out well on the blue screen. The screen of the tablet is the apps that it has. The apps are all different sizes and colors like red and purple. The different colors make the ending shot more visible and interesting.

Microsoft, in a way, stole their idea and made their commercials more appealing and interesting. Apple used basic colors and standard characters while Microsoft physically showed off their products and used different bright colors to spice things up. Their ending shots were very opposite. Mac had basic ending shots which were unappealing and the Microsoft tablet had color, music and text all in their ending shot.

    Another commercial failure was another Apple model called the Lisa, in 1983 (Timesunion.com, 2011). It cost $9995, which was the main reason it did not sell well (Timesunion.com, 2011). It was the first commercial computer with a GUI. Success was followed by the Macintosh. It had a lot of marketing power behind it, including the 1994 Super Bowl commercial, appealing to a wide audience (Timesunion.com, 2011). Its compact design and lower cost was also reasons for success (Timesunion.com, 2011). Perhaps the contrast to the Lisa was a marketing strategy from the beginning?…

    The theory that athletes go through "hot and cold streaks" stands on the fact that players go through ups and downs throughout a season. First, the hypothesis that states a player tends to make more shots after missing is considerably wrong based on the conclusion that players statistically produce an equal percentage of shots after missing a shot or making a shot. Also, it’s possible to replicate this concept in other sports too. Baseball players go through stretches during the season where they struggle heavily. Out of a random sample of players, a career .285 hitter could start the season hitting a mere .220. However, through other stretches of the season, a hitter will hit in streaks that reflect higher than his standing or career averages.…
